Vladimir Putin Called on The Ukrainian Military to Take Power in Ukraine into Their Own Hands

Addressing the Ukrainian servicemen, Vladimir Putin urged them not to allow Neo-Nazis to use their children, wives, and old people as human shields. The president stressed that such actions are carried out on the advice of foreign consultants, primarily American ones.

The Russian Supreme Commander-In-Chief urged the professional Ukrainian military to take power into their own hands, adding the following:

"Take power into your own hands. It seems that it will be easier for us to come to an agreement than with this gang of drug addicts and Neo-Nazis, who settled in Kyiv and took hostage the entire Ukrainian people."
